ตรวจสอบพยัญชนะต้นตัวสะกดสระและวรรณยุกต์ไทย

ตรวจสอบพยัญชนะต้น (ต้องมี) ตรวจตัวสะกดสำหรับสระที่ต้องมี ตรวจสอบการวางสระและวรรณยุกต์ไทย หมายเหตุ การตรวจสอบตัวสะกดในภาษาไทยตรวจสอบได้ยากเพราะภาษาไทยเป็นภาษาที่เขียนติด ๆ กันไม่มีการแบ่งคำอย่างชัดเจนทำให้การอ่านภาษาไทยผู้อ่านต้องใช้ความหมายของคำในการตัดสินการอ่านแบ่งคำตามความเหมาะสมเช่นคำว่า "ตากลม" อาจอ่านเป็น "ตาก-ลม" ก็ได้ หรืออ่านเป็น "ตา-กลม"ก็ได้ ดังนั้นการเขียน Regex เพื่อทำการตรวจสอบอาจช่วยได้ระดับหนึ่ง อ่าจมีผิดบ้างถูกบ้าง แต่ก็ถือว่าเป็นเครื่องมือที่ใช้ช่วยเหลือในการตรวจสอบเพิ่มเติมได้ 80% ของความเป็นไปใด้ก็แล้วกันนะครับ หวังว่าการเขียนเพิ่มเติมส่วนนี้ จะมีประโยชน์บ้างไม่มากก็น้อย

Secure Email Validation (OWASP-Aligned & DNS-Strict) (RFC 5322)

Created·2026-01-21 16:32
Updated·2026-01-21 16:36
Flavor·JavaScript
This regular expression provides a balance between RFC compliance and security-best-practices. It is designed to prevent injection vectors in legacy systems by using a restricted "safe" character subset recommended by the OWASP Validation Regex Repository. Pattern: ^A-Za-z0-9(?:\.A-Za-z0-9_+&-]+)*@(?:[A-Za-z0-9{0,61}[A-Za-z0-9])?\.)+[A-Za-z]{2,63}$ Key Features: Forced Alphanumeric Start: Prevents leading hyphens to avoid command injection vulnerabilities. Security Subset: Restricts special characters to _+&*- to prevent exotic character injections (e.g., pipes or backticks). No Quoted Strings: Forbids quoted strings to eliminate dangerous payloads containing spaces or backslashes. DNS Compliance: Enforces label lengths (1–63 characters) and prevents labels from starting or ending with hyphens. Whole String Anchoring: Uses ^ and $ to ensure the entire input is validated.

Text in between HTML tags and inside quotation marks within HTML tags

Created·2025-12-08 04:32
Flavor·JavaScript
Overview This Regular Expression shows any text between HTML tags or between quotation marks within the tags themselves. An example would be: <HTML lang="en", then selecting the 'en' from there. Group 1 is between tags, and group 2 is in the quotes. I recommend only using half of this regular expression, like the 'between tags' part, or the 'inside quotes part'. Explanation The whole regex is built of two alternates, the tags and quotes part. The tags part (the first part) starts with a lookbehind of a closing of a tag, then a lazy part that selects almost characters, and a lookahead that checks for the beginning of tag (so the text is between tags). The quotes part is built in a similar structure, where it looks behind for an open of a tag, .+ , then checking for an equals sign followed by a quotation mark. The middle section of the quotes part is again just searching for text, but also not including quotation marks. The lookahead checks for a closing quotation mark and that's it! Please comment any questions or email me.

This regex is a universal pattern used for the HTML input tag with type="email". Dont use type="email" as the pattern does not work with it. For the pattern to work correctly, use type="text" with inputmode="email" if you want to display the desired keyboard on mobile screens.

[React TypeScript] Unnecessary backticks

Created·2024-12-20 12:55
Updated·2025-02-17 08:18
Flavor·JavaScript
Matches string properties that unnecessarily use backticks in React components. NOTE: This regex ignoes backtick strings that contain BOTH quotes (") AND single quotes (') but it WILL match backtick strings with ONLY quotes or ONLY single quotes! Keep this in mind if you want to use substitution! For example, if the string is: `prop={String with ONLY "quotes" and NO single quotes}` Then the regex will match these capture groups: $1 -> prop= $2 -> String with ONLY "quotes" and NO single quotes So if you use substitution with this input: $1"$2" You will get: prop="String with ONLY "quotes" and NO single quotes" Which will give you an error!!!

Regex for Matching Documentation Websites

Created·2024-11-24 01:45
Flavor·JavaScript
Regex for Matching Documentation Websites This repository contains a powerful regular expression designed to match URLs that commonly point to documentation-related websites. The regex is optimized for flexibility, covering various terms and URL patterns. Regex Pattern ^.(?:\.|\/)(docs|documentation|help|guide|manual|reference|api|kb|support|resources|wiki|developer|how-to|tutorials|examples|learn|instructions)(?:\.|\/)?.$ Purpose This regex is intended to identify URLs that contain keywords associated with documentation or support websites. It handles common patterns in subdomains, directories, and file paths. Explanation ^.*: Matches any characters at the beginning of the URL (any prefix). (?:\.|\/): Matches either a period (.) or a forward slash (/) preceding the keyword. (docs|documentation|help|guide|manual|...): Matches any of the keywords listed in the group. (?:\.|\/)?: Allows an optional period (.) or forward slash (/) following the keyword. .*$: Matches any characters following the keyword (any suffix). Examples Positive Examples The following URLs should match the regex: https://example.com/docs http://docs.example.com https://example.com/documentation https://sub.domain.com/docs/index.html https://example.com/help https://api.example.com/docs http://example.com/manual/index.html https://wiki.example.com http://developer.example.com/guide https://example.com/tutorials/docs/page https://kb.example.com/docs/tutorial.html https://example.com/resources/documentation/tutorial.html http://example.com/reference/help/documentation.html https://developer.example.com/docs/tutorials/index.html http://support.example.com/documentation/overview https://resources.example.com/docs/v1/tutorial https://example.com/how-to/documentation http://example.com/api/reference/docs https://example.com/reference/v2/index.html http://example.com/docs/resources/api.html Negative Examples The following URLs should not match the regex: https://example.com/documentary http://helpful.example.com https://manuals.example.com http://example.com/references https://example.com/resourceful http://example.com/wiki-books https://apiary.example.com http://example.com/documents http://example.com/documentable https://help-center.example.com http://manual.example.com/docsystem https://example.com/resourcesful http://api.example.comary https://example.net/instructions-v1 http://example.org/learned-tutorial http://example.com/support-center Author Jeremy Georges-Filteau Website Github

Description

Time Zone UTC Offsets in actual use for ISO 8601 / RFC 3339 Date Times (Museum of Bad Data)

https://regex101.com/library/F21Glr

Matches only (and every) UTC offset that is in actual use and valid under ISO 8601 and RFC 3339 (Y'know, the '2008-08-08T08:08:08+05:00' looking one, this is the plus/minus sign part and what follows, or the 'Z' for UTC).

This regex will work in all versions of Javascript past and present. The Expanded version with the comments will not.

Edge cases:

  • Rejects -00:00, which is valid RFC 3339 but invalid ISO 8601.
  • Accepts 13:00, 14:00, -03:30, and other yes-those-are-valid offsets
